The part about the best guys not committing yet is true for everyone, and those top guys may not even choose LSU. Stop making that excuse. The top schools are able to close big time guys early, so why can't we?

I'm so confused why everyone is melting over this class. We're in the top 15 while meeting our biggest needs and if we get the guys we want (aka Marshall, Surtain, etc.) it sets us up for a top 10 finish while still addressing the trenches with some big bodies. Some of y'all need to calm down.

Hanagriff can suck it.

The coaching staff went out and got guys who fill needs - namely on both lines.

Recruiting is far from over, but I, for one, am extremely fired up for who we've signed so far.

This is what I keep coming back to. LSU did not settle for these players; they selected them. Let's see how it pans out. I'm keeping an open mind.

I believe that the cardinal rule of recruiting is to get at least 8 big uglies every year. This has been a shortcoming of ours, but this year we have 10. Complete this class with DBs and WRs, and if our coaches are evaluating well we'll have a great class.

Second, I honestly believe, this class has a few underrated guys in it. Guys that I think the recruiting services missed on.


Every year

LSU's guys are downgraded stars and the bama commits become 5* after the fax comes in

I am thrilled with this class. It seems as though O and staff decided to fortify the trenches on both sides of the ball. That goal was accomplished. Now finish up with the "glitter" players. Hopefully that will push us to the 8-12 finish range.

Want a better recruiting class? You can start by not bashing the head coach or coaching staff the other 11 months.


yeah. They probably take someone's opinion on a message board as more valuable than the loss to Troy when making a decision

Guess he thinks this the last signing day for this class. He needs to put down the crack.

I don’t either but only time will tell..past years we won games on talent alone...that shite won’t fly with with so many strong coaches throughout the sec...I have little faith CEO can develope his players better than CLM and I highly doubt our Coordinators will be here more than a couple years if that.

Always good to judge the class based on incomplete and subjective rankings two full months before it is finalized.


the guy is obviously playing to the negative, the sky is falling crowd. since LSU has a large percentage of those, he's sure to raise his numbers.

I think he's full of shite. Clemson never recruits as good as LSU and look what they've done. once again, clemsons #12 class might be better than les miles #4 class. LSU is recruiting needs this year and JUCO guys. if we close with all 4star or better we will be top 10 with some 3 stars that show a lot of potential.

This is word for word stuff that was used for LSU's 2012 Class which was one of the worst in recent history. It isn't a zero sum game. You meet the needs of your roster while also getting good players. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

I really think you’re full of shite if you think O can coach guys up like Dabo can

But we did hire him and he’s our coach. Miserable second guessing sob’s who continue to whine and complain about it just look dumb. Please stfu and let the rest of us enjoy today. Thank you for listening.

Uh no, UGA signed 5 *****'s today. And that's no knock against our class. Just pointing out your statement was a little off.

They have built very good offensive and defensive lines out of mostly 3 star players.
because they had no choice, because they're the bullies. It wasn't Mullen's genius plan to recruit 3 stars.

The whole "these guys are underrated" and "stars don't matter" responses to the class are not the kinds of things you want to hear on signing day.

In other words "make the best of it" is not a triumphant statement. It's an attempt at an easy letdown.

of attrition from one position group without it largely being due to the head coach and position coach.


Ok smart one, where are all those big time OLman starting? I'll bet most don't do a darn thing where they're going, and this isn't what I heard. They were let go bc our coaches thought they could rebuild it with much better players.

You see some coaches prefer kids that are good young men instead of kids who just want to use your school to get to the next level. Those kids don't care. We also switched HCs and so there is attrition which happens at those times, EVERY WHERE, so no it has zero to do with our coaches or staff.

I just love when people talk out of their arse bc they heard it on the freakn rant and now it's fact. I like our OL recruits much better than in the past so LSU needed to do this. LSU won some big games with an average QB, and injuries all along the lines of scrimmage. We played more freahman than ever BF. LSU had a very young team and coach O did just as good as Miles has been for half a decade now. Once he builds his team into the style he wants LSU will likely win many more games.

You know nothing

Because the idiot Rantards have invaded the recruiting board to TROLL. It's what they do. It's funny as always as the idiots are trying to knock the LSU signing class in the early signing period.
